Smoke blanketed the Plateau last Wednesday when a fire erupted in a four-storey 60-unit apartment building.

100 people were relocated from the building on Pins near St. Urbain.

With fire escape doors left open, the fire, originating in one of the aparments, quickly spread throught the building.

The building was completely gutted.
